My Journey

Journey & Reflections

This space holds the thoughts, emotions, and moments that come with this journey – both the quiet realizations and the heavier reflections. It’s where I process what I’m going through in real time, Learning more about myself, my body, and what healing looks like along the way.

Surgery & Recovery

This section focuses on my experience with surgery and the recovery that follows – physically, mentally, and emotionally. From the expected to the unexpected, this is where I share what healing after surgery has really looked like for me.

Wins & Struggles

Not every day feels like progress – and not every struggle means failure. This space is for both. The small victories, the hard days, and everything in between. Because healing and change don’t happen in a straight line, and every step still matters.

Meals That Work for Me
